Going to Disneyland or Disney World is fun… but what is even more fun is making your trip extra special with the little things!  And, you don’t have to spend a fortune to add that magical touch for your kids.

First, watch this video to see my amazing finds at Target, Walmart and the Dollar store.  Then, if you need more ideas that weren’t featured in the video, you can check out the info below.

Any of these items can be used to surprise your kids for your Disney trip, used as items to bring along with you to use on your trip, or they can be used as secret gifts the “Disney Fairies” have left in your hotel room when you get back from the park!

  4. If you are driving to Disneyland, and you go through Vegas, we always stop at the Disney store outlets. We usually buy our girls their gowns there. They have great prices on Jammie’s and toys too:)

  5. Just a note, if your looking for MU items Disneyland does not have very much. My daughter wanted a hoodie that had Monsters U on it, but we had to buy it online. Also while your at the park you can ask the cashiers at various stores what free buttons they have. Sometimes they’ll have one you like! I picked up a Happy Anniversary one and incorporated it into the card I made for my husband.

  8. Another tip…the Walmart close to Disneyland sells tons of Disney T-shirts and Disney souvenir items. We will be stopping there once we get to CA. They even have the same autograph books they sell in the park for a fraction of the cost.
